Android Lint: how to ignore missing translation warnings in a regional locale string file that purposely only overrides some default translations?

Question

Is it possible to translate some strings, but not all, in a separate resource file without Lint complaining about MissingTranslation?

For example: m

Answer 1

A nice way to disable MissingTranslations check is to add the option in module specific build.gradle file .

android {

    lintOptions{
        disable 'MissingTranslation'
    }

    //other build tags
}

If the strings are not present in locale specific Strings file, it will take the strings from the default file which generally is strings.xml.
